Highlights

The snowpack is mostly stable. However, backcountry travels venturing into very steep and heavily wind loaded terrain features in the upper elevations might be able to trigger a pocket of wind slab up to 18 inches deep. Remember, the snowpack is still very shallow; rocks, downed trees and stumps lurk beneath the snow surface. At the mid and lower elevations, shallow snow depths further reduce the likelihood of avalanche activity.

Avalanche Discussion

The aforementioned upper level low pressure system will bring a chance for light snow showers tonight and on Sunday. Overnight lows in the mountains will be in the single digits before rising into the mid-teens during the day. Ridgetop winds will be variable in direction and range from 5 to 15 miles per hour as the low moves into Wyoming from the southwest.The snowpack is mostly stable, and the general avalanche hazard is expected to be LOW on Sunday. On very steep and heavily wind loaded terrain features above 9,000 feet, backcountry travelers might be able to trigger an isolated pocket of wind slab up to 18 inches deep. Below 9,000 feet, shallow snow depths further diminish this threat.
